'Twas the Night Before Christmas...

'Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the blogNot a person was voting “fruitcake” or “eggnog.”The widgets were hung on the sidebar with flair,In hopes that new colors would cause folks to care.

Bland post-author boxes were redone. Instead,Nathaniel’s was blue, and Alex’s red.These touches we hoped would put us on the map,Or at least would quell statements of “this looks like crap.”

When the number of hits just got fatter and fatter,We needed to know why our polls didn’t matter.Were they too hard to read? Did the colors all clash?Or were our polls stupid, pathetic, bad trash?

With a Photoshopped banner that looked pretty slick,And some well-written code to load pages so quick,We knew that our blog would bring fortune and fame,Writing posts about topics, some of which we now name!

Posts on Star Wars! On Star Trek! On Gaiman and Crichton!On comics! Nintendo! On Dungeons & Dragons!To the top of the page! Through our archives you’ll crawl!A post for each day since the onset of fall!

Okay, so you got us, that’s kind of a lie;We don’t post every day, but we certainly try.But if posts aren’t enough, then there’s other stuff, too:A link of the week and our blogroll are two.

There’s a place to leave comments; please don’t be aloof!If I ask, leave a note, or I’ll look like a doof.And check out our topics that spin round and round;Down the sidebar a ways is our old-style list found.

We’ll try not to be vain, but our own horn we’ll toot,We’ve subscribers galore, and followers, to boot.Just look at them—ten! Well, it’s hard to keep track,But do us a favor: sign up, join the pack.
